Quotes 

• Oscar Leroy : [Brent is reading a book about the history of Dog River in an attempt to learn more about the people around him]  You're not going to learn anything from a stupid book.

  Brent Leroy : Wise words, Dad, but I disagree. For example, did you know that Wes here's father died in Korea, saving his entire platoon?

  Wes Humboldt : Daddy's dead?

  Oscar Leroy : We told him he joined the circus, ya jackass.

• Karen Pelly : Oscar's got a cat up his tree.

  Davis Quinton : Oh, I see what you're saying.

  Karen Pelly : No, he's actually got a cat up his tree.

  Brent Leroy : What did you think she was saying?

  Davis Quinton : I thought it was a euphemism for something.

  Brent Leroy : For what?

  Davis Quinton : I don't know, it sounded like a euphemism. I didn't want to be left out.

  [Brent and Karen stare at him] 

  Davis Quinton : Oh, see, I knew it'd be awkward once you found out I couldn't smell.

• Emma Leroy : It's a Neil Diamond record. It's for your father.

  Brent Leroy : Why would Dad want a Neil Diamond record?

  Emma Leroy : Oh, he loves Neil Diamond. He's a... he's a, whatcha call it, a Trekkie.

  Brent Leroy : No, Ma, that's something else.

• Brent LeRoy : Hey, I'm, uh, I'm sorry about that crack I made at the Ruby. Which, although it was funny, may have seemed insensitive. Although it was funny.

  Davis Quinton : It's okay.

  Brent LeRoy : Why didn't you tell me you couldn't smell?

  Davis Quinton : I did.

  [flashback] 

  Brent LeRoy : Can you smell propane?

  Davis Quinton : No, I can't smell anything.

  [flashback ends] 

  Brent LeRoy : Anyone could've missed that.

  Davis Quinton : Well, you obviously don't remember the rest of the conversation.

  [flashback] 

  Davis Quinton : It's not that I can't smell propane, it's that I can't smell *anything*. Propane, skunk, leftovers. I have no sense of smell!

  [flashback ends] 

  Brent LeRoy : Ah, you talk in riddles.

• Brent LeRoy : Can I help you, Wes?

  Oscar Leroy : Hey, I was here before him!

  Wanda Dollard : Age before more age.

  Oscar Leroy : Oh sure, big spender! Go ahead! But just remember, money talks. But it don't sing and dance. And it don't walk!
